Friend Get Friend


First of all, my Ameriminions seem to be having a great time coming up with their opening lines, and I have to say the standard has been superb. There's still ages left to go, of course- the deadline is October 23rd- so keep submitting them in the comment section to the last post. It's all been very impressive so far- some real writers out there, and every few hours I have a new favourite... SO KEEP SUBMITTING!

Of course, I did promise a SECOND competition, now didn't I? Basically, your Golden God needs your Miniony help to spread the Skulduggery word around the world during this, the most fun of all months. This is what we're calling our "Friend Get Friend" competition, and it's all to do with social media. I honestly understand only about half of what I'm about to say, so please bear with me. The winners will receive a set of the Skulduggery books- UK editions- all signed by moi, and you'll each get a signed poster with your favourite quote scrawled across it. I'm not sure yet WHICH of the amazing Skulduggery poster you'll be getting, because it all depends on which ones I can find in my house (yes, that does mean these posters are from my own personal collection.)


Here are the things you need to do to be in with a chance of winning:

If you have a Facebook page, you could change your profile pic to the new Tom Percival US cover, then post a link on your Facebook wall to the eBook here http://bit.ly/qNJYCP

If you're on Twitter, you could tweet (I'm sorry, I'll never be able to take this word seriously) a message out using the following hashtag- #FREESkulduggeryebookUS . It can be about anything connected to the free eBook offer but it must contain a link to the page http://bit.ly/qNJYCP and a request to re-tweet your tweet. Good God. Tweeting, retweeting, hashtags... Does ANYONE understand what the hell I'm talking about?

If you have a different online profile- like MSN, YouTube, Blog, Tumblr, etc- then you could post a status update which includes the cover and the link http://bit.ly/qNJYCP ...

Now, if you do ANY of those things, you MUST tell me in the Comments section to THIS post. Tell me EXACTLY what you've done and you'll be automatically entered into the competition. The closing date is October 31st, the competition is open to EVERYONE in EVERY country (yep, that includes you Ameriminions), and 10 winners will be selected at random by me. 

Ready? Set? GO.

Min (Thalia) said...

Bye for now Kal!

*hugs*

Sorry, I had to switch comps.

No, Kal, I haven't taken anything for the pain. It went down now. The kid was really sorry. I'll put some ice on my face next time I cry, thanks for the advice!

Dia T said...

Okay. I FINALLY got around to posting the promo stuff!
I posted it on my facebook page, as well as 4 of my friends pages. Basically demanding them to read the books :)

@Flame
Fire is forever gonna be awesome.

nights.raven said...

:)

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

HELL yeah. So wanna be innit?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I love it when I'm not the only one here; when it's just me I start acting strange... *glances at the old people-flavoured milkshake and shudders*

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Of course!

All stories are awesome! The people here in blogland all seem to have the trait of capturing all the awesomeness in their stories and it's an honour to be in them! :D

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

@ val if you're hear wanna b in that story thing? Oh and how's stuffed animal murdering coming along? Nicely I presume?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Lol remember other night bella?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

@Flame

I'm not sure what you mean about the story thing... But the muders are lovely; there's body parts all over the floor, and thanks for your concern. We killed them all in a horribly rude way, and it was quite fun to doze of with the sounds of screams in our heads. :D

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

@ bela remember the god old days when we were trying to murder each other?

Min (Thalia) said...

Brb

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Oh gO to my blog it explains it there

nights.raven said...

ok thalia

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Kk Thalia!!!¡¡¡!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Ah, yes... *sees a flashback starting and pulls out a bow and arrow and shoots it down. Stupid flashbacks...* How could I forget? I have quite a sharp memory. I usually pretend I forget things though so people will leave me alone.



And Bella has TWO "L"s

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Wanna fight zombies that always goes down a threat?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

And that was a typo.... My iPod likes to do that sometimes...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hmmm.... Zombies... *thought flies into head and shoulders sag* I can't right now. My stupid ninth grade level classes give me more homework than all the other seventh graders, and I have to do that. *imagines kicking teachers in the face and burning school books with delight*

nights.raven said...

hey flame, if u check out my story, could u comment?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Oh yeah forgot brb!! Soz nights

nights.raven said...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Kk Flame!!!¡¡¡!!!

Red Waterfall said...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Red Waterfall!!!¡¡¡!!!

nights.raven said...

hi red waterfall

Cat said...

Oh... but Derek!

I dont have any contact with the outside world...

*sniff**sniff*

well... i suck at writing anyway... so....
aw, god! this has to be the only time youve ever depressed me....
i do have my own author fantasies, you know... and there is no one to live them out through....

aww.....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sorta. Nice to meet you, Red. I'm one of the most insane fans here :)

Red Waterfall said...

hello pyro and nightsraven! :D

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Cat!!!¡¡¡!!!

@Val V.
Wanna bet?

Red Waterfall said...

and Valkyrie!

Cat said...

wow...

this is damaging to my nonexistant excuse for an ego
(He's always on Vaca. git.)

maybe...

yeah...

i need a friend...

yah... but i cant do it before breakfast, and that is the only time for impossible things, now that my hitchhikers guide is out of batteries

nights.raven said...

hi cat, how r u?

Cat said...

Hi All!

you do realize you are the only ones today who have even acknowledged my presence?

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Testing…

Red Waterfall said...

this is really confusing. by the time i'll finish writing this there'll probably be two newer comments and mine will be irrelevent.. oh well..

nights.raven said...

WB KAL *hugs*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm insane, Pyro, just accept it. I stayed here for AT LEAST 30 hours, with no sleep. I own fourteen Skulduggery Pleasant books. I have convinced people my name is ACTUALLY Valkyrie. I'm throwing a birthday party for Derek and we're not even in the same country. I laugh at other poeple's pain. I AM INSANE.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Kal!!!¡¡¡!!!

*hugs*

How are you?

Cat said...

I'm...
i guess... im ok. i have to go now.
thanks for caring.

But first!

i will personally arm wrestle ANYONE and WIN for most insane fan here. in fact, i have already won.

actually... i probably couldnt even win at that.

see yas torrorow.

You are all awesome. but derek....

really, there should be something for those of us who have no lives. really.

Red Waterfall said...

hi kal! thanks about the peoms! :D

nights.raven said...

bye cat *hugs*

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

That's as may be Val V. but you aren't the most insane person here. That title goes to Chan.

Cat said...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH!!!!!!





ITT BURNNNNNSSSSS!!!!!



AHHHH!

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Bye Cat!!!¡¡¡!!!

nights.raven said...

cat?

Red Waterfall said...

Midnight must be one of my fave doctor who episodes.. anyone besides pyro familiar with the show? :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And who is that? I honestly think I'm the most insane.






(I was just thinking that if we were speaking face to face no one would understand a single word I'm saying because I can end up talking really fast and it confuses everyone XD )

nights.raven said...

@Flame, if ur still here, thx for the comment on my story :)

lego said...

hi pyro!

why is chan insane? guess I missed that...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Of course I read the poem Kal! It's second from the top of the blog at the moment. Sorry for not comment, I don't comment on many poems because I know that if I do then the comment will be nearly the same for every poem and I don't want comments on peoples work to be repetitive.

Red Waterfall said...

true that is, pyro

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Did you guys notice how I said I was supposed to be doing homework and I'm still here? XD

Maybe it's because I hate Algebra...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Hi Lego!!!¡¡¡!!!

@Val V.
Talking fast is so much fun!
And don't you know Chanoro?

And Chanoro is most insane because he is the most insane person I know.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Who's chan??
Val is the most insane person!!
I commented nights!
Pyro ?
Hi/ bye cat nice to meet
Hi red waterfall nice to meet you
Thaila how's the finger
Kal wb and thanks btw, wanna be in that story?

Min (Thalia) said...

Forgot to say I needed to go. Bye all!

lego said...

@Valkyrie- I think you're more creepy than insane, if that makes you feel any better. =p

nights.raven said...

bella
its possible, i suppose

Red Waterfall said...

everyone hates algebra :P

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Bye thaila
Nights ur welcome
Pyro again chanoro?

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

By Thalia!!!¡¡¡!!!

Red Waterfall said...

nice to meet you, too, flame :)

lego said...

bye thalia! *huggies*

And I like algebra. For math, anyways.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Hi Lego could u check out my blog and comment to be in my story

Kal post a link to ur oc's description

nights.raven said...

bye thalia

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Chanoro Flashfreeze, he's my friend

He goes on the blog sometimes

Although normally he's on xat instead

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Ok I missed way too much ;)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, Pyro, if you met me you're decision would be certainly doubtful, for I really have lost my mind. Ask Amanda, if she comes on. She knows me, and she's insane TOO.

Flame- thanks for agreeing.


Lego- I am indeed creepy. A very good quality to keep annoying people, such as the "popular" people, FAR away from me.

lego said...

haven't seen him anywhere in forever...probably just bad timing.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Bella being creepy and insane and stalkerish are your traits

Red Waterfall said...

ahhh Val, that is maybe the fastest i've grown fond of anyone. creepiness is indeed a fun way to annoy the "popular" people (:

lego said...

it's quite easy to keep them away, in my experience, at least. Getting them to shut up, however, is quite a different thing.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Most likely, I haven't seen him here for months

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I hate algebra with one of the darkest corners of my little heart... It shares space with my enemies. And I have enemies.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Couldn't agree more Lego!

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Yep :) I love annoying people who have a much lesser vocab than me by using long words that don't even fit in that sentence....

The good thing is they never no:)

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Like deciduous? Or incarnadine? Or quersiverus?

Red Waterfall said...

LOL FLAME. i have a friend with the BEST death glare in the history of deathglares. people run away from her, 'eep'ing. we laugh...

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Lego could you check my stories and anyone who already hasn't there on my profile...

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

I have the best death glare!

*glares indignantly at Red's friend*

Title stealer.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Ok pyro I may have a bigger vocab than most but you have me... Well... Out vocabed!!

lego said...

@flame- sure. :)

also, this is quite random, but that's okay. http://www.freeworldcharter.org/ it's a video of a moneyless world, and it's really, really cool and happiness producing.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Yes! Octa the encyclopaedia for the win!!!

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

THE NEW PAGE WILL BE MINE!!!!!

Liz said...

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

No no no pyro

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Qq

Red Waterfall said...

pyro, she is now returning you her worst death glare, reserved to special cases such as glare-offs. i don't know if your abilities as lord of flame or something make you immune to turning into ash, but if not, you better run!

Liz said...

THIS IS A COMMENT



READ AND ENJOY OR I'LL EAT YOUR FACE


OMNOMNOMNOM

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

It will be mine

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I keep EVERYONE away. Every time someone wants to tell me something They're too scared and have to wait ntil I approach them. It's funny. And I use big words all the time and speak the the way Irish people do - bloody, rubbish, quite, indeed, etc. - because no one understands it. EVER.
